KHON2’s Working for Hawaii: Unscripted 2.5.26

Common Myths About Alzheimer’s Disease
Many people believe Alzheimer’s is a normal part of aging or that nothing can be done once symptoms begin. These assumptions can delay diagnosis, discourage early evaluation, and prevent patients from accessing helpful interventions. The discussion emphasized that Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological condition, not a normal aging process, and that early identification plays a critical role in care planning and symptom management.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Blood Biomarkers
While these tests show promise, there is confusion about what they can and cannot do. Dr. Liow explained that blood biomarkers are emerging tools designed to help identify biological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, they are not standalone diagnostic tests and should be interpreted within a broader clinical context that includes medical history, cognitive evaluation, and imaging when appropriate. Clear communication is essential so patients understand that biomarkers are part of an evolving field and not definitive answers on their own.

Addressing Controversies Around Alzheimer’s Treatments
Media coverage can sometimes create unrealistic expectations or misunderstandings about what treatments can achieve. Understanding the purpose and limitations of current therapies like Recognizing that treatment decisions must be individualized. Emphasizing careful medical guidance when considering new options Treatments may help slow disease progression or manage symptoms, but they are not cures. Ongoing research continues to refine how and when these treatments are most effective.

Brain Health and Prevention: Lessons from the US POINTER Study
Brain health was a key part of the discussion, including findings from the US POINTER Study, which focuses on lifestyle-based approaches to cognitive health. The study reinforces that brain health is influenced by multiple factors, including daily habits and overall wellness. Rather than relying on a single solution, a comprehensive approach to brain health is encouraged.
This perspective empowers individuals by emphasizing proactive steps that support cognitive function over time.
